Default Re: Just got smoked in a combat that I *thought* wouldn\'t happen--was this a bug?

I believe (but would like dev/veteran confirmation) that the order is randomly determined.

i.e. bad luck for UDH
The order is random when doing movement phases. And George's answer my be true (though I have never had a smaller Army get 'pushed' around by a large one. Only Large on Large, never Small vs Large). Also there is the question if a Sieged Province is considered under control of the Castle owner or the Sieger for purposes of movement.
